Good post.

The bake sale idea is generating controversy but is not doing much to spread the real message as in reality, there is no such thing as government pricing discrimination in the market (that I am aware of anyway). What would be better (IMHO) would be to:

Offer people $5 to take a test, minorities are automatically given between 15-25 points before they write their names on their papers.

Start an athletic team and turn away people after you have reached a certain number of your quota. After all, if blacks only make up a certain % of the overall population than they cannot be overly represented in the club. Explain that even though some of the black students are better athletes, you cannot take away opportunities for other students.

Sponsor a debate between minorities and whites/asians. The minorities are allowed to use any language they care to but white students are automatically subjected to sensitivity training or even harsher penalties when the minority side doesn't like their response.

Have a big campus club day and post a sign telling people that Black, hispanic, gay, women and other special interest groups are allowed to attend but that white student clubs are not because of their racist and non-inclusive views.

Post sign-ups for two day-long programs in two different locations. The first option is a black students day event filled with guest speakers to discuss black issues such as civil rights, affirmative action, reparations and racism. The second option will be to have a Conservative Club rally where speakers will come to discuss issues like free speach, affirmative action, quotas and other conservative discussion points. Then go back and measure:

Positive Press for the black students event and the negative press for the conservative one.

The time it takes to have the university cave in on the conservative event.

The amount of times racism is used by minorities and the amount of anti-white comments made at the black students event.

Actually, I retract that thought....we have government subsidies for a whole host of things.....

Rest of my point still stands.....
